'Not only is [CHMM] an impressive enterprise, and one that will soon find its space in the scholarship, but it also shows the complexity of dealing with a subject matter that underwent profound transformations in the past thirty years ... The depth and comprehensiveness of the essays is remarkable ... a considerable achievement.' Giovanni Varelli, Medium AEvum 'In two volumes containing thirty-nine essays, The Cambridge History of Medieval Music addresses central concerns: theoretical systems, the work concept, genre, practice, analysis, interpretation, performance, style, intertextuality, influences, sources, editions, dissemination, pedagogy, genre, people, institutions, and cultures ... these essays articulate diverse practices and perspectives and offer bibliographies, figures, examples, summaries, historiographies, methodologies, and questions for understanding this long and complex period.'
